Testo Revolution - Arrested Development
Testo della canzone Revolution (Arrested Development), tratta dall'album Arrested Development: Greatest Hits
Before you put on this record
Understand this is for all of my ancestors
Who were raped, who were killed and hung
Because of their plight for freedom and for dignity
They died for me, and they died for you
This is for them to know that yes
Even today in 1992, we are still fired up
And we're still talking about revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Brothers and sisters
Let me share with you some news
As I sit on my plush couch watching the news
There has been a rude awakening
That I have marched until my feet have bled
And I have rioted until they called the feds
What's left my conscience said
What's left my conscience said
Go
As I look out my window, I see the little ones
Playing amongst each other with their water guns
In pure poverty
Generations of good people in cycles of poverty
It bothers me, so I ask myself I say
How you doing as much as you can for the struggle?
Am I doing as much as I can for the struggle?
Then why do I cry when my people are in trouble?
My ancestors slapped me in the face and said
Go
Harriet Tubman told me to get on up
Marcus Garvey said to me, "Friend, you get on up"
My brother Malcolm X, need I name more?
It ain't like we never seen blood before
Come on, let's talk revolution now
Revolution
All my people say
Revolution
All my brothers say
Revolution
All my sisters say
Revolution
All my people say
Revolution
Hey
Revolution
All my people say (revolution)
All my people say (revolution)
I see blood on one Malcolm as one shot up
I see tears 'cause now it seems that we forgot him
I see years of people searching for solutions
Restitutions, excuses, don't want no more confusion
Come on, come on, let's talk right, let's talk right
Talk up, talk up, but don't talk up all night
There's gotta be action if you want satisfaction
If not for yourself, for the young ones
The children
The UN, the US, we can't allow ya
To tell us to get in the ghetto
It's not as important as getting Bosnia
I ain't with it, just forget it
We can't even debate if you don't understand our situation (come on)
You don't want us to go get a gun now, do you? (Come on)
You don't like to see people running around now
Yet still you wanna live like 90210 while we scream out yo (freedom)
My grandmothers are gone we have wasted
You must require a taste for something we've never tasted
So people let us sweat our palace
It's either the bullet or the ballot so now
Revolution
Revolution
All my people say
Revolution
All my brothers say
Revolution
All my sisters say
Revolution
Hey
Revolution
All my people say
Revolution
All my people say (revolution)
All my people say
Hey (revolution)
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Now, see, I understand what my people have said
They're trying to fight
Fight for the answers to our dead
For Harriet Tubman
Move organization David Walker
The Black Panthers
Kwame Nkrumah
Marcus Garvey
Jane Hickman
